Concrete has played an essential role and has decisively contributed to the creation of a modern civilization’s material basis. The world today would be quite different without concrete. In spite of the fact that concrete has existed for many centuries, the idea of a centralized concrete mix manufacture and delivery to placement sites was established just a little more than one hundred years ago. In current terms it was initially a commercial project. However, with the development of concrete technologies it became clear that high-performance concrete could be obtained only if stationary plants were used under the strict quality control of mix components and processes.
